I'm having a problem with mounting network storage controlled by windows server 2003. When I use Leopard I have no problems. When I use tiger it doesn't work properly. here are the details
Leopard:
I use the following string in the connect to server dialog:
smb://server1/data$/dept/teachers/jones1
I get prompted for the windows domain, user name and password. After entering the info, the disk mounts correctly. if I use "get info" on the mounted disk the path is displayed as:
smb://server1/data$/dept/teachers/jones1
Tiger:
In tiger I use the same string:
smb://server1/data$/dept/teachers/jones1
Again, I get prompted for the windows domain, user name and password. After entering the info it only mounts the data$ disk (which isn't really a directory). Further, even though I issue the command as "smb" it seems to default to cifs". Using get info on the mounted disk, the path appears as
cifs:\\abcschool;jones1@server1/data$
abcschool in the string above is the windows domain
Last, I have also tried issuing the string as a cifs: string:
cifs://server1/data$/dept/teachers/jones1
but that doesnt work either.
any suggestions?
